WEST HOLLYWOOD, UNITED STATES: A wedding cake featuring two grooms and two brides is on display at a local restaurant as part of the preparations for a mass gay wedding in West Hollywood, CA 01 June 2004. Some one hundred gay and lesbian couples tied nots in a ceremony performed by West Hollywood Mayor John Duran.

Vince Grimm of Cape May County has been with his partner Will for 52 years. He says the ruling favoring same-sex marriage in his state is encouraging.

“It’s about time. Having been through domestic partnership and civil unions, marriage would be quite nice,” Grimm said.

Grimm says the past decade has been heart wrenching, with New Jersey at one point leading the country when it comes to gay rights. But Grimm says he is confident gay marriage will happen in his state, the only question is when.

“Is it going to go with a Court order if Christie doesn’t fight it? If Christie does fight it, is it going to go to the next court? Or if Christie fights it, will it carry into the lame duck session and then the legislators will vote on it and then it’s a pretty good chance it’s going to happen then.”
